Abstract
The decision in PP v The Judges of Dublin Circuit Court' revisits the fate of s 11 of the Criminal Law Amendment Act 1885, a provision that, before its repeal in 1993, prohibited gross indecency between men. This was the law under which Oscar Wilde was prosecuted, and a measure that profoundly affected the lives of many gay and bisexual men (in both direct and indirect ways) over many decades in both Ireland and the UK. Long reviled by the LGBTQ community, s 11 was repealed in 1993.2
